Volex Labs / Forge / Text to STEP file.

Text to STEP file.

A STEP file is the universal CAD exchange format — it opens in SolidWorks, Fusion, Onshape, FreeCAD and every CAM package. Volex Forge turns a plain-English description straight into a manufacturable STEP solid.

Describe the part, get a real B-rep solid — not a mesh — that you can edit, machine and assemble in your existing tools.

Frequently asked

Is it a real solid or a mesh?
A real B-rep STEP solid — not a tessellated mesh — so you can edit faces, add features and generate toolpaths in CAM.
Which software opens it?
Any CAD/CAM package: SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, FreeCAD, CATIA, Inventor and every mainstream CNC tool.
Can I edit the STEP afterwards?
Yes — it imports as normal geometry you can modify, though parametric history is not carried across formats (that's a STEP limitation, not Forge's).
How much?
Free to try; a downloadable STEP is from £2.99.
